Why should I attend?

If you’re looking for ideas and information to enrich your family’s lives in Central Florida, this is the event for you. While your kids are making things, trying new things, playing, bouncing, picking up free stuff, sliding, riding, discovering, creating, watching, running, eating and more, you can capture new ideas and opportunities for your kids and family. It’s an indoor, air-conditioned event, which is perfect for August! As your kids head back to school, find all of the resources that are available to you in your own backyard! For less than the cost of going to the movies, you can enjoy a fun family day together!

Where is the Orange County Convention Center?

It’s located at 9800 International Drive in Orlando (see driving directions button above for more information on getting to the convention center). A short drive from anywhere in Central Florida. Bring your strollers, wear comfortable shoes and come to play!

The Florida Kids and Family Expo was created in 2014 by Central Florida moms that have lived and worked in our community for decades. A teacher, business owner, and employee, our team was always so busy working, they didn’t know what opportunities were available in their own community. So, they created MyCentralFloridaFamily.com and the Florida Kids and Family Expo to help other families discover what’s possible each year!

The Florida Kids and Family Expo brings approximately 150 pre-natal, baby, toddler, kid, teen and family exhibitors together with products, services and opportunities to enrich your family. From free trials to coupons, discounts and giveaways, not only will you discover new ideas, but you’ll also be able to try them out for free or save money along the way! The exhibits are free to interact with, from animal encounters to product trials to character meet and greets and so much more.

The Florida Kids and Family Expo is your annual opportunity to discover what Central Florida has to offer moms-to-be, babies, toddlers, kids, teens and families. Beat the heat and get indoors for some epic family fun while discovering new ideas and opportunities for your family.

Come enjoy over 150,000 AIR CONDITIONED square feet of everything for pre-natal moms, babies, toddlers, kids, teens and families! 150 Exhibitors. LIVE PERFORMANCES all day, both days. Interactive stations. Attractions. Bounce Houses. There is so much going on…we simply can’t list it all!
